That is not the choice that shareholders are faced with. If you actually want to know why CEOs get paid so much, rather than just have something to whine about, you need to see the reality for what it is.

My comment was quoting an in depth article I read on the topic. What sources and views do you have?

It does not matter how deep the BS is, it is still BS. And you are full of it.

Sure I do. That is what I am doing every time I quote you. Now, instead of doing the spoilt infant routine, do you have any interest at all in what I actually posted?

You think it's self evident I am incorrect. But you can't explain how. It's really breathtaking.

No one is worth what Elon Musk earns. it's just not possible. No company hinges that completely on one person, certainly not a person as worthless as that dude

It is evident that you do not even know how to begin thinking about the topic under discussion. You have no interest at all in it.

It's interesting you've said that at least three times, but can't tell me where I am wrong

They are paid that much because of end stage capitalism. that is obvious

You would have to actually say something to be wrong. All you have done is dribble.

Do you have any interest in the topic at hand, or are you just here to stain the rug?

There's nothing you can do about that. But I can help your confusion. If you can string a sentence together and tell us what you are confused about.

That is not the choice that shareholders are faced with. If you actually want to know why CEOs get paid so much, rather than just have something to whine about, you need to see the reality for what it is.

Or, we could start with a simple question. Do you know who decides what the CEO get's paid?

It's not really relevant to what I was discussing. You seem confused.....

If CEO salaries are not relevant to CEO salaries, why did you bring up CEO salaries in a thread about CEO salaries?

Quote:

CEO salaries were once kept confidential but neoliberalism saw them published. So a CEO-to-be would use the last CEO salary to argue for a better salary for himself (and the next tier of execs) to be higher than that.

What a cunning trick. So why haven't the shareholders caught on yet?

They make money, they don't care. Realistically it's cheaper to pay the CEO a ton, than all the workers a living wage

That is not the choice that shareholders are faced with. If you actually want to know why CEOs get paid so much, rather than just have something to whine about, you need to see the reality for what it is.

Then panic at the suggestion you actually think about why they get paid so much?
